FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides an elastic hair tie material and an elastic hair tie dispenser for dispensing varying lengths of elastic hair tie material. More particularly, the present Elastic Hair Tie Dispenser device has been configured with a flexible cover, a pivoting cutting blade actuator and cutting blade to conveniently dispense elastic hair tie material of varying color, cut to any desired length by the user of the dispenser, to be worn by women or men to restrain their hair in many varying different stylish configurations and for varying purposes, and wherein the dispenser is refillable by either winding hair tie material onto a spool rotatably housed within the dispenser or inserting a new coil of hair tie material sold separately.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

For many years the common rubber band has been the means for a person with long hair of holding it back in a ponytail away from their face. The problem with rubber bands is that they tend to break or damage the hair. Other items that are commonly used are scarfs and items that have been developed into a means of adornment like colorful fashion accessories. Presently more women as well as men have a need to hold their hair back to keep it out of their face. In many cases, there is an occupational necessity, such as in food servers, machine operators and athletes.

The elastic hair ties that can be found on the market today are very generic in their construction and design and do not effectively address the needs of the consumer. The majority of the designs on the market are a “one size fits all” product. Other companies have brought to the market elastic hair ties that are sized based on a criterion of age. Generally, they are made in adult or child's size. As a result, these products do not address the actual thickness of texture of an individual's hair. This does not allow the user to have a product that is more suited for their needs.

The products currently on the market are inexpensive and do not perform well or last very long due to basic problems with the quality of the material used in the construction. In order to keep prices low, the elastic material used is inferior and has a very short life span, both from retention of elasticity and breakage standpoint. A basic design flaw is a built-in weakness in the product where a metal “crimp” is used to attach two ends of the hair tie together that creates a point of failure when used repeatedly.

Numerous innovations for hair ties have been provided in the prior art that are described as follows. Even though these innovations may he suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, they differ from the present invention as hereinafter contrasted. The following is a summary of those prior art patents most relevant to the invention at hand, as well as a description outlining the difference between the features of the present invention and those of the prior art.
